Rattlesnake and adventures in the swamp
Once upon a time, in a wonderful, fine city, a little hero named Thunderquake was born and lived. He grew up to be the bravest and jolliest knight in the entire kingdom. Thunderquake dreamed of becoming a brave, great descendant in the chronicles of the kingdom's history, like his ancestors who rescued everyone in various corners, in different abodes from evil robbers.
But one day, as Thunderquake was preparing for his morning studies of wisdom, he heard a strange noise and rumble. He rushed to the tower of his castle and saw the toad king of the Lilypond Swamp riding on a clumsy donkey, along with his henchmen - the ruffian Sharpfang, the cowardly worm Snakehead Narcolog, the woodpecker Oakhead Lavroid, and other sinful extraterrestrial creatures. They were planning to drink the Black Sea, to burn, disgrace the ancient glorious land, where free peaceful people with magical creatures dwell. And where the betrothed princess Floriana resides, to catch and devour her behind the beautiful green mountains. They were eager to cause great evil, turning everyone who survived into slaves and hunchbacked zombies.
Thunderquake was in shock! He couldn't let these sick miscreants, bloodsuckers destroy everything dear to him. He decided that this would be his greatest adventure - to stop the snail king Lilypond and his army of orcs.
Thunderquake quickly gathered his warriors, the best armorers for defense and containment of evil. And secretly set out in search of the princess who possessed the second part of the secret magical weapon "this side-that side," which could help him in this dangerous mission. Along the way, he met many different characters - the cheerful fairy Merriment, the wise wizard Wincatic, the brave knight Prickly, the giant Thunderstorm, and many other brave and caring individuals.
Together, they devised a plan to stop the rotten-toothed Lilypond and his minions. Thunderquake and his strong, reinforced team quickly returned to battle, where they encountered the criminal, hideous enemies. And the second part was sent to the swamp to the kingdom of the living dead, where the escaping coward was hiding deep in the pitiful well himself.
And the great battle began! Thunderquake and his comrades used their bravery and ingenuity to defeat the enraged invaders. They attacked them with slashing swords, showered them with sharp arrows, used magical spells, all sorts of small and large dragons burned the ranks of orcs, the earth shook upside down, invisible tricksters appeared before their noses and turned the villains into wet spots, stones the size of a boar's helmet rained down from the sky on the swampy helmets, suddenly a fierce wind swept in, engulfing the opponent in icy barrels, and even other cheerful humorous tricks were performed.
Finally, after long battles, little Thunderquake and his team emerged victorious. They crushed the bloated king Lilypond, burying him under stones in his bottomless well, and sent his worthless soul straight to Hell so that it wouldn't escape with the magical weapon "this side-that side." The swamp lords were ground in the millstones and the flour was sent to feed the toads. And those who had a long tongue with poison - were tied up, their tongues were cut off, and they were sent to relax in prison.
All the kingdoms were cleansed, even the mysterious county of potato peelings. And the swamp was saved, the people there saw the light again - for the land shone once more warmed by the warm sunlight.
Thunderquake became the hero of his kingdom and beyond! All the people welcomed him and thanked him for his courage and bravery. Princess Floriana, whom he saved along with their country, personally thanked him and offered to become his faithful friend.
Thus ended the story of Thunderquake and his adventures in the swamp. The tale showed that even the smallest hero can do great things if he believes in himself and isn't afraid of challenges. And though it was filled with danger and villains, it teaches children that goodness, bravery, ingenuity, and friendship always triumph over evil and that laughter and humor are the best medicines for the soul.
